A job application which shows an 18-year-old Steve Jobs seeking employment as an “electronics tech or design engineer” is expected to sell for more than $50,000.
The one-page document dates back to 1973, three years before the launch of Apple, and shows Jobs’s to-the-point yet error-laden responses to a series of employment questions, Boston’s RR Auction said in its listing published on Thursday, Newsweek reports.
The budding technology pioneer wrote his name as “Steven jobs” and listed his address as “reed college.” Beside the section for a phone number he penned “none.
Jobs stated his major as “english lit” and next to the question "Access to transportation?" the soon-to-be Apple co-founder wrote: “possible, but not probable.” With regard to skills, he scribbled “(design, tech)” under two sections titled "Computer" and "Calculator."
At the bottom of the page, he described his "Special Abilities" in a single sentence: “electronics tech or design engineer. digital.-from Bay near Hewitt-Packard [sic].”
It remains unclear what company Jobs was applying to.
